Warehouses are built mainly for storing and stocking the goods for a particular time period before releasing them in the market. Also, warehouses play an important role in price stabilization. There is a Fall in the price of goods when the supply is abundant and rise during scarcity. Warehouses are constructed to minimize the risks. Significant infrastructure and manpower are needed to load and unload the goods in warehouses. Hence there is a need to provide proper comfort for workers. To reduce the risks in the warehouse, workers should be physically and mentally comfortable. The main reasons behind the distractions of the workers can be heat fatigue, heat stroke or any other type of heat stresses. To reduce this heat stress, Epoch HVLS fans become most common in industrial facilities across all over the world.

Considering an example of our office

In the office when the AC system is not working, usually we can see the rise in the temperature over the room temperature. This makes it hard to focus on daily work and makes it uncomfortable. This unsuitable temperature changes may affect the productivity of employees.

Some common challenges related to air movement in a warehouse

Sick Building Syndrome

Poor air quality and air movement in the warehouse can cause an unhealthy and uncomfortable environment for employees, reduce morale and decrease productivity. HVLS fans increase air movement, reduce temperature and help to reduce moisture content in the air. HVLS fans also help to distribute concentrations of airborne contaminants including chemical fumes, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), etc.

Uneven air temperature in the warehouse

Air ventilation systems or HVAC systems worked hard to maintain uniform temperature using a thermostat. HVLS fans circulate the hot air trapped from the ceiling with cooler air at the floor level. But still, there is an uneven and improper distribution of temperature. This can be avoided by using HVLS fans which reduces the uneven temperature and covers large areas uniformly.

Birds entering warehouses

Since the warehouses are big and have large open doors, it is easy for birds to enter the warehouse. Here HVLS fans can be very helpful. Birds entering into warehouses get demoralized due to continuous movement of fan blades.

Sweating slab syndrome

The sweating slab syndrome phenomenon occurs when moisture is collected on the concrete surfaces. This creates a slipping hazard for employees and may cause injuries. Condensation can also damage the inventory and packaging of materials. This dangerous situation can be eliminated by using HVLS fans which move the air at a very high rate and reduce moisture content in the air.

Benefits of installing Epoch HVLS fans for a warehouse:

1. Air Circulation: As we all know, air conditioners blow the cool air from a single point. So this does not circulate the air properly in the warehouse, but this can be avoided by using Epoch HVLS fans. Also, Epoch HVLS fans reduce energy bills and increase a technician’s comfort.
2. Fresh Breeze: Epoch fans are very efficient and able to get better air comfort and flow by creating a fresh breeze and eliminating stagnant air. It is so designed to allow for maximum airflow.
3. Employee Comfort: Studies show that improving employees’ comfort will result in improved employee productivity. Epoch HVLS fans not only improve air conditioning, air flow, power consumption, but also employees’ productivity and comfort.
